Chapter 28
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
WILLOW
My heart thrums harder inside my chest when I make my way into the kitchen expecting to find Jace, but he’s not here. The case of hard seltzers he was carrying sits on top of the counter, but there isn’t a sign of him anywhere.
“Jace?”
All I’m met with is silence. Confusion washes over me and my bladder screams in protest. Leaving my wine glass on the counter, I head over to the bathroom and slip inside to relieve myself.
I pump some soap onto my hands, working it into a lather under the water as I stare back at myself in the mirror.
My hair is pulled back in a high ponytail and my cheeks are flushed from the cold air outside and the contrasting warmth in the house. As I finish washing and drying my hands, my mind drifts back to Jace.
I know he’s in the house somewhere, but where the hell is he?
Hanging the hand towel up, I twist the lock on the door knob and glance down at my feet, noticing a small hole in my sock as I pull the door open. Someone steps into the doorway, blocking the opening.
A gasp escapes me as my eyes lift, scanning the body in front of me. “Jace!” I swat playfully at his chest. “You scared me!”
Jace stares down at me, hunger in his gaze. He steps closer, pushing into my space. His eyes bounce back and forth between mine as he backs me into the bathroom. Once we’re far enough in, he tips the door with his foot and pushes it shut.
One hand lands on my hip and pulls my body flush against his as the other slips around the back of my head and grips my skull.
My hands fist the front of his sweatshirt as his mouth collides with mine.
There’s nothing gentle about the way he kisses me.
His tongue slides along the seam of my lips, urging them apart as he slips inside my mouth.
Tongues tangling, teeth clashing, mouths melting—he kisses me like he’s desperate for the oxygen in my lungs, like it’s the only thing he needs to survive.
“I missed you,” he murmurs against my mouth, his tongue darting out to trace the outline of my lips.
A soft laugh bubbles in my throat as I kiss him back. “It’s only been two days since we last saw one another.”
“Doesn’t matter,” he rasps, his lips trailing along the underside of my jaw. He lifts his hand from my hips, planting it on the wall above my head. “You’re under my skin. When I’m not with you, you’re all I seem to think about.”
“You know where to find me,” I remind him, my eyelids fluttering shut, my head tipping back as his mouth trails down the side of my neck. A moan escapes me as he lifts the bottom hem of my sweatshirt, dragging his fingertips along my bare stomach. “I should get back outside.”
“Yeah?” he murmurs against my neck, trailing his tongue along the column of my throat, nipping at my flesh. “No one’s stopping you, Willow.”
Sliding my hands up under his jacket and over his shoulders, I push the sleeves down his arms as his mouth finds mine once more. He kisses me with haste, my tongue darting out to meet his as the urgency and need hangs heavily in the air around us.
“You drive me insane,” he breathes, pulling my bottom lip between his teeth. His hands drift lower, pushing beneath the waistband of my sweatpants. “Goddamn, I want you.”
My breath catches in my throat. “Yeah?” My heart pounds harder, heat simmering in the pit of my stomach. “Lock the door.”
He blows out a breath, groaning as he pulls away, twisting his body to turn the lock.
“Come here,” he murmurs, his hand reaching for mine as he tugs me to him.
He drops his hands down to my waist and spins me around to face the mirror.
“We don’t have a lot of time, so it’s going to have to be quick.
” His fingers hook the elastic of my pants. “Are you okay with that?”
“Yes,” I say in a rush, the word falling from my lips with a breath as I stare back at him through the glass.
“I want you inside me, Jace, and I don’t want to wait until later.
” Spinning in his grip, I reach for his pants, tugging down his joggers, pulling his boxer briefs with them. “You’re wasting time.”
A low chuckle sounds from his throat and his cock bobs free. He’s already hard and stretched, his length swollen and throbbing. His hands drift down the sides of my body, pulling my sweatpants down with them. My panties are already damp with my own arousal and I lift an eyebrow as he leaves them.
Reaching between us, I wrap my fingers around his cock and slide my hand along it. The moisture builds between my legs and we’re running out of time. Looking up at him, I collect the saliva from my mouth, gathering it on my tongue before I bow my head and spit on his cock.
“Holy fuck,” he moans, the muscles along his lower abdomen tightening. Coating my hand in my saliva, I pump his cock a few more times to get it wet.
Jace tugs my face to his. The kiss is deep as he removes my hand from his dick. His hands drop down to my hips, spinning me to face the opposite direction as his mouth leaves mine.
“Bend over for me, baby. Show me where you want my cock.”
A shiver trails down my spine and I bend at the waist, planting my hands on the counter in front of me. Jace growls, his fingers brushing my cunt as he sweeps them under my panties, tugging them to the side.
“You’re so good.” He runs the tip of his cock through my wet pussy lips then presses against my center. His eyes flick to mine in the mirror as he wraps his hand around my ponytail. His lips part, a low hiss slipping from him as he thrusts into me.
A cry of pleasure falls from my lips as he fills me to the hilt, his cock stretching me. I slap my hand over my mouth to stifle my moans. My body instantly clenches around him as he slowly begins to move his hips, sliding in and out. He stops with just the tip inside before thrusting into me again.
“I could fuck you forever,” he rasps, his voice catching in his throat as he releases his grip on my hair. His hand drifts down to my waist and he pushes my shirt farther up my torso, his fingertips dancing across my bare skin.
My fingers flex and my arms ache as I brace myself for every thrust. I push my ass back in his direction, moving myself in tandem with his body.
“I want you to come for me, baby,” he growls, snaking his arm around the front of my body, slipping his hand between my legs. His fingers immediately find my clit, applying the most delicious amount of pressure as he begins to work them against my flesh.
There’s a sound that echoes outside of the bathroom, almost like a door closing, but the thought dissipates as Jace rolls his fingers over my clit. My body tenses, ecstasy rippling through me as he pounds into me. The fire in my belly builds, threatening to spread through my body at any minute.
And then I hear Noah’s voice from somewhere else in the house.
“Jace?”
Jace stills inside me, his eyes widening as he meets mine in the mirror. He doesn’t move. My heart fucking stops inside my chest.
My brother calls out again. “Where are you at, man?”
“Fuck,” Jace mumbles, but he still doesn’t retreat.
He leans forward, his eyes still on mine in the mirror.
My eyelids flutter as he pushes his cock deeper inside me.
“If you don’t want your brother to find us, you’re gonna need to be quiet.
” His lips brush the outer shell of my ear and he lifts his hand to cover my mouth.
Holy shit.
The pressure builds between my legs and I roll my lips between my teeth, nodding. He’s filling me completely.
“Yeah, I’m in the bathroom,” Jace calls out to Noah, his fingers lazily circling my clit. He slowly drags his cock halfway out before pushing back into me.
“Did you fall in?”
Shifting my hips, I grind back against him, taking all of him, desperate for more. His balls press against the outside of my cunt and a moan catches in his throat.
“Fuu—” His eyelids flutter shut, his throat bobbing hard. “No. No. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”
His nostrils widen, his gaze darkening as he pulls out and rolls back into me. Pleasure ripples through my body and my lips part, my teeth digging into his flesh. The corners of his mouth twitch into a smirk as I bite down on his palm.
“Did you see Willow?”
Jace rocks his hips, his fingers pressing harder against my clit. My pussy clenches around him, drawing him in deeper as my orgasm is lingering just on the cusp.
“I did,” Jace says, his voice catching in his throat as I run my tongue over the indents I left in the meat of his palm. “She was taking the laundry up to her room and said she needed to change.” He grunts as I tighten around his length. “She told me she’d be back out afterward.”
“Okay,” Noah says. My heart pounds harder in my chest and I push my ass back against Jace’s hips to encourage him to keep going as he continues to work his fingers over my clit. “I’ll catch you outside then.”
Jace’s fingers dig into my jaw as he rocks his hips, slowly stroking my insides with his cock.
“I’ll be right out.” He presses hard into me, his fingers rolling my clit between them, and the combination sends me over the edge.
The wildfire spreads through my body. I clench around him, panting against his palm as my body shakes with my orgasm.
“All right,” Noah says, his footsteps echoing, growing quieter as he walks away from the bathroom. Jace slams into me, coming hard as he thrusts into me over and over, filling me with every last drop he has to give. My legs shake and my heart pounds fast as the euphoria washes over me.
Jace leans forward, his lips trailing against my neck and along my jaw. His hand moves to grip the underneath of my chin as he turns my face back to his. His mouth finds mine and his lips melt into mine as he drains the oxygen from my lungs.
“You’re going to get me into so much trouble.”
A chuckle bubbles in my throat as Jace releases me, pulling his cock from me. “You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
“I don’t even know anymore,” he breathes, shaking his head as he lets out a soft laugh.
“And at this very second, I’m not so sure I care.
” He grabs a towel from the cabinet beneath the sink and hands it to me before he pulls up his own pants.
“Your brother could have opened that door and I don’t think I would have felt a single ounce of guilt. ”
I stare back at him, my heart thrumming against my ribcage as my lungs forget how to work on their own. “I thought you didn’t want him to know about this.”
His throat bobs, his eyes slowly searching mine.
“I’m not sure what I want anymore.” He tucks a stray lock of hair behind my ear.
“But I like the thought of my cum dripping from you for the rest of the night. The thought of sitting across from you at the fire with no one knowing what just happened in here has my cock throbbing again already.”
A smile tugs on my lips. “I think you’re the one who’s going to get me in trouble here.”
Something unreadable passes in his eyes and it vanishes just as quickly as it appeared. A smirk drifts across his lips. “Then I suppose we’ll both burn.” He leans down and kisses me one last time before he pulls away. “I’ll let you get cleaned up and I’ll see you outside?”
“Okay,” I murmur, swallowing as I nod.
Jace lingers for a second longer before he slips out of the bathroom, leaving me to myself. Turning to the mirror, my gaze rakes over my face, taking in my disheveled hair and the glossy look in my eyes with Jace’s words playing over in my head.
“Then I suppose we’ll both burn.”
They’re just words and nothing more.
I may be in a Jace-induced haze, but I know better than to get hung up on something like that.
Or someone like that…
